Thirty-five, wave the army to attack Anyi, Shaoliang gathered the army
After the white tiger finished speaking: "Remember! The Middle Route Army is the main force for the transfer of materials, 100,000 new troops, under the leadership of Zuo Shu Changzhan Fang Director Ying He, as soon as they arrive in Anyi, they will be under the command of General Pan, and they will be fully responsible for the transfer of materials". ∮, his guard, hurriedly stepped forward with a water urn. After the white tiger drank a sigh of relief, he didn't even wipe the foam on his mouth, waved the bamboo whip, and said excitedly:
3. After the middle route army crossed the river. The order in which Ju Wangjun crossed the river was: left and right. The Left Route Army was held by Wu Haojun of the Sixth Army. After Wu Haojun crossed the river, he led his army north and went straight to the shore gate. The main task is to encircle the shore gate and block the connection between the shore gate and Jiyi and Jishan in the northeast. The Right Route Army was served by Chen Xijun of the Seventh Army and Ying Sijun of the Eighth Army. After Chen Xijun crossed the river, he went south and went straight to the other side of Heyang, which was a hundred miles away, and must occupy the ferry port on the east bank of Heyang at noon on the fourth day of the first lunar month, and not let a single Wei soldier or Wei people cross the river to the west bank. After occupying the ferry, immediately send 5,000 troops to the southeast to the 120 miles of Minggua, be sure to take over the defense of the siege of Minggua from the Pangu army on the fifth day of the first month, remember, it is also a victory without a fight. The 5,000 troops who stayed at the ferry, after the Eighth Army arrived, immediately rushed to Mingua after handing over the defense, and took up the defense task along the way from Minggua to Anyi. After the Eighth Army's Yingsi Army crossed the river, the 5,000th Army defended Fenyin, and when the rear route army arrived, it handed over the defense of Fenyin and went south, responsible for the defense of the ferry from Fenyin to the east bank of Heyang. The other 5,000 troops went south to Heyang, took over the ferry port on the east bank of Heyang, and was responsible for the defense of the ferry port on the east bank of Heyang to Minggua, and the task of the left and right armies was to ensure the safety of the two wings of Fenyin and the road from Anyi to Minggua.
Fourth, the rear route army to which the white tiger belongs will cross the river on the fourth day of the first lunar month. The main task is to reorganize the Wei army prisoners, recruit Wei people, and turn them into material transfer troops according to the plan, specifically transfer materials to Fenyin, cross the river to Shaoliang, and all the prisoners and Wei people in Fenyin and around Fenyin are under the control of the Ninth Army. All the materials transported to Fenyin were also guarded by the Ninth Army. After the Ninth Army crossed the river, it was followed by a 100,000-strong army led by Yinghe, driving 15,000 carts, each of which was responsible for 1,500 vehicles, to Minggua. Among them, 5,000 went to Anyi, and the 5,000 vehicles that arrived in Anyi first, totaling 10,000 vehicles, were responsible for transporting supplies from Anyi to Minggua. The other 10,000 vehicles are responsible for transporting them from the melon to Fenyin. The material transfer from Anyi to Fenyin is in charge of Yinghe. The material transfer from Fenyin to Shaoliang was handled by Zhao Xiang. The White Tiger will be dispatched in the center of Fenyin to coordinate and command all matters of the 200,000 army. Commander Zuo will follow the chariot army of Yinghe and go to Anyi to take command. All things in Anyi are subject to the dispatch of the chief of the left. Do you understand? Generals! ”
In the hall, all the generals replied with a bang: "I understand. The rank obeys the general's order! ”
Only then did the white tiger put down the bamboo whip, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and after retreating, he returned to his original position.
After waiting for the White Tiger to sit at the table, Duke Qin stood up, pointed to Anyi's Dongfang Order, and said, "This time the use of 20 troops, 20,000 carts, and 100,000 people is the biggest and most daring action in Qin's history. Generals! Raise an army for a thousand days, and use the army for a while. Whoever delays the fighter and fails to complete the assigned mission will be beheaded on the spot! ”
"Yes!" The generals excitedly raised their chests and raised their heads, and the group of excited Yang replied.
On the second day of the first day of Meng Chun in the tenth year of Qin Gongqu Liang, the first moment of Shen Shi. Shaoliang City, the top of Liang Mountain in the south of the city. Du Zhi, Gan Long, Gongsun Ying, Baihu, Ju Wang, Pangu, Pang Pla, Ao Bao, Li Youwu and other generals, accompanied by Shaoliang Ling and Shaoliang defender Ren Gu, overlooked Fenyin City on the opposite bank of the river at sunset.
Fenyin City, standing on a high riverbank. Although it is nearly ten miles away, the majestic West Gate is still clearly visible. The Yellow River is like a jade belt, lying in the river beach stretched out on both banks. The river is not wide, and it shines on the ice in the setting sun. Ren Gu, the commander of the Shaoliang Army, pointed to the opposite bank and explained to everyone:
"Fenyin City, eight miles long, six miles wide, has eight gates. The city wall is four zhang high and two zhang thick. There were 20,000 defenders and 60,000 inhabitants. The lord of the city guarded the city with the name of Wei Han, and led 50 leather chariots, 200 light chariots, and 8,000 soldiers and foot soldiers. ”
Lieutenant General Ren Gu pointed to the river and introduced: "At this time, the river is the season with the lowest dry water level. The river is only four miles wide, and the beaches on both sides are about five miles wide. Here, as soon as the unitary time passes, the weather is extremely cold, and the river beach drips into ice, and the ice surface can withstand heavy pressure. ”
Shaoliang Ling then reported: "According to the military order, 40,000 bundles of grass have been prepared and placed in a ravine one mile away from the river bank. When it was dark, he ordered the laborers to transport it to the shore and arrange it in five rows at the top and bottom according to the army crossing the river, so that the army could pick it up. ”
Du Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and arched his hand to Qin Gong: "Lord! The minister and Dr. Gan have already arranged the affairs of 20,000 carts according to the battle strategy. Each cart was equipped with three men and two mules and horses. The 5,000 carts that followed the Kotou Army and the 5,000 carts that were ready to glide on the ice and ice were all boat-shaped warped plates, and the wheels were easy to remove and put on. In addition, in order to transport materials in Fenyin, four people are specially equipped to push the glide, and 3,000 pieces of wooden bed boards can be loaded with 1,000 catties, which can ensure the transfer of 3 million catties of materials in one trip and 15 million catties of materials in one day. ”
Gan Long then arched his hand and said, "Lord! The minister has already divided the labor with Tsukasaki. The minister was in charge of shipping in Shaoliang, and Tsukazai was in charge of receiving and warehousing in Liyang. 100,000 people are only responsible for Shaoliang's transfer of materials to Liyang. The ministers promised that as long as the material crossed the river, it would be a grain of rice, and it would be transported back to Liyang in full. ”
Qin Gong looked at the two old ministers who were still accompanying him in the cold wind, and said distressedly: "Two old Aiqing! Seriously, if it weren't for the importance of this battle, the widow really couldn't bear to work the two of them, and he also braved the wind and cold to come to Shaoliang. Great work for two! ”
The two old ministers arched their hands again and again and stopped Duke Qin: "Lord! Looking down on the old minister? It is the greatest honor of the ministers for the lord to let me and others see such a great battle related to the fate of the Qin State, and it is also the greatest trust of the lord to the ministers. Please don't worry about the ministers! ”
Qin Gong smiled and asked the white tiger, "Is it ready?" ”
The white tiger arched his hand and reported: "Lord! As soon as Qiē was ready, as soon as the auspicious time arrived tomorrow morning, thousands of troops and horses crossed the river and rushed straight to Fenyin. Please sleep peacefully tonight! Come together tomorrow morning, and you will be able to get the good news of our army's occupation of Fenyin! ”
Qin Gonghu asked with a grimace, "General Bai!" Aren't you plotting to murder the widow? The tens of thousands of troops of the widow will cross the river in the middle of the night, but you let the widow sleep? Is it you, are you sleeping? Isn't this murder of the widow and the suffering of the widow in anxiety? ”
